"I can't believe I'm going to say this, but my belly is my favorite part of my body," Thomas said. "I mean, after years of trying to think about foods don't bloat and wearing Spanx and everything else ... the day I found out I was pregnant and having Miles and seeing what this body has done for me, I'll never look at myself the same (way) again."

"Growing up, all I ever wanted was boobs. I prayed for them and I wanted them and I wished for them and, sadly, that never came true. Finally, as an adult in my late 20s, I realized that something I thought was a real flaw of mine actually was an asset."

It's amazing how things that made you feel really self-conscious in your teen years and your younger years ... all of the sudden become the things that really empower you and that you love about your body," said Vazquez.
